Transfer market – PSG target a 2nd Monaco player!

The 2026 summer transfer window is here, so rumors around Paris Saint-Germain are piling up. This time, Foot Mercato reports interest in Folarin Balogun, the 24-year-old AS Monaco and United States striker, as a replacement for Gonçalo Ramos (the 25-year-old forward who joined AC Milan). A second Monaco lead after Maghnes Akliouche (the 24-year-old attacking midfielder/winger).

“Folarin Balogun’s profile is emerging insistently.”

“Out wide, the profiles of Yan Diomandé and Maghnes Akliouche are unanimously appreciated for the thrust they can provide. But at the same time, the signing of a new central striker to replace the Portuguese number nine is also being seriously considered. To fill this void at the point of the attack, Luis Campos and the Paris hierarchy have drawn up a shortlist featuring several enticing names. Among them, Folarin Balogun’s profile is emerging insistently.

“the door is not closed to a departure.”

“Nevertheless, while Paris Saint-Germain’s interest is real, it should be emphasized that absolutely no official contact has yet been established between the Paris management and their Monaco counterparts regarding this matter. Paris are closely monitoring the player’s situation, but have not yet made the slightest formal approach to open talks. On the side of the Principality club, the door is not closed to the departure of their American striker.”

It is a lead that some had already mentioned in recent days, without any particular sign. This rumor is a little something, but it is still a long way off. There is no confirmation, nor any offer. It is simply an option, one that may very well not materialize. PSG, Balogun, and Monaco may have other priorities.

However, he is an interesting striker, who is shining at the World Cup with the United States at the moment. Interest is possible; we will wait to see whether there is anything more than that.
